After Liza and Zoey run away because Bob abused Liza again, they arrive at Sean's place with nowhere to go. Cleo is already there, insisting she's only tutoring and helping cover rising tuition costs. Zoey pleads for help, and Sean—because they're friends—agrees to take them in. He tells them to stay while he moves to the dorm and urges them to find jobs. The key change is Sean providing immediate shelter and rearranging his life; the episode ends with temporary refuge secured but their long-term safety and income unresolved.
